1.
In a bowl sift the flour and add all other ingredients. Transfer the
dough onto floured surface and knead for about 5-8 minutes (add more
flour if needed).

2. Form round shape and put into a bowl, cover and leave it in a warm place to double in size.
3. When the dough has doubled divide into 2 pieces-one bigger and one smaller for braiding.
4.
Shape the bigger piece into a round shape and put on a baking sheet
covered with baking paper. Divide smaller dough into 3 pieces. Roll out
the pieces into strands and braid them.
5. Put braid on the top of the bigger dough.
6. Beat the egg and brush the dough. Cover and leave to rise for another hour.
7.
Preheat oven to 390 F and bake for about 20 minutes then lower the heat to 350 F and bake for another 20 minutes. And as Ivana from
Dolce Fooda blog would say "and pray that you get the piece with the
coin!"
=))) In the past people used to put coin in the bread and the person
who gets
the piece with the coin would be considered lucky for the whole year!
